HOUSTON, TX — Construction Partners Inc. (CPI), a vertically integrated civil infrastructure company specializing in the construction and maintenance of roadways in local markets across the Sunbelt, announces that it has acquired GMJ Paving Company LLC (GMJ).

GMJ is an asphalt paving contractor for public infrastructure projects operating throughout the Houston, Texas, metro area. The company's hot-mix asphalt plant located in Baytown, east of Houston, represents CPI's 12th plant in the Houston metro area, complementing CPI's existing geographic footprint and providing additional throughput opportunity at CPI's nearby liquid asphalt terminal.

"A core component of our growth strategy is to enter the right markets with the right partners," said Fred J. "Jule" Smith, III, CPI's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We entered Houston last August with our acquisition of Durwood Greene Construction Co. and grew our operations significantly in October with our acquisition of the Houston-area construction assets of Vulcan Materials Company.

"With the acquisition of GMJ, we are further expanding our market share and adding to our team of skilled and experienced operators with extensive local market knowledge and deep customer relationships that is well-positioned to serve one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing markets in the country. We welcome Lupe Munoz and his team to our family of companies as part of Durwood Greene Construction Co. and look forward to our future in Houston."
